Discussing the topic of Odell Beckham Jr. getting traded from the Giants to the Browns, New York-based NFL Network reporter Kim Jones had an emotional, personal story about her relationship with the wide receiver.

Jones missed 1.5 months of work this past season with a life-threatening medical issue, and she says that when she pulled through on New Year’s Eve Beckham sent her a text message including media of an interview they’d done together years back with a note that he was so glad he’d see her in 2019.

This, she said, illustrates the difference between Beckham in private versus the public perception of him.
